Referring to the drawings "by reference characters, l denotes the lioodwof the' lai-inap which is substantially conical 'in contouren j vhas the apex thereof cut away to form a fiangeci opening 2. Said hood is further pr0 vietl with a eeries of openings?a in 'the top 4"thereof topermit of the surplus heat escaping. @conectad 'to the bottom of the hood l is a means to constitute a damper, whimpermits the surplns heat to escape, but iis-'sonorey attracted as to prevent the escape of theluminous rays. Said damper consists of a pair of annular members 3 a, each ofsaid'members provided with openings 5, which l"when occa# sion requires are adapted to register with one another, so as to allow the escape of the surplus heat. The member 'is fixed to the 'hood l, while the member 4 is sliflable upon the member The member 4 'is arranged within the member 3 and is retainedin posi tion lov the guidelugs 6. The member is provi l 4which extends a handle 8, which is iixed to the member 4f. The slot is adapted to (lcd with an. elongated slot 7, through.

limit -themovement of the handle ilu either V' diiection,so that when the handle 'is moved one 'direction the 'openings 'will register with one another and when'movefl in the pposite direction the openings will be 'closeell rounds the damper so as to allowfor the escape of the surplus heat, but at the same time prevents'the escapeof the luminousraya This band 32 ls heldin place, bot away from .the member 3, anlxis supported by studs/i4, :h'ariclleplate' 143, and the elliptical rodpl'ate v1,45. The band 42 isl of suiicientbreadth to Amore than'covei the openings in the damper and ie held away by' thcsturls 44 from the suitable band 42 is provideclwhich sml" member 3 a snicient distance to allow of free circolation of aify shape Hin ed to the member 3 is an inverted-conedirector 9, which is retained in closure position through the medium of a springlatch 10, attached to the member 3 and having its free end engaging the director 9.

The

function ofthe director 9 will be hereinafter referred to. The director 9 at its bottom is cut away so as to form a centrally-arranged opening 11 and is furthermore provided with an annular collar 12, and to the said collar 12, through the medium of a pin-and-slot oonnection 13, a conical-shaped cap 1-1 may be attached. Said cap 14 is provided with an opening 15, forming what is termed the light-ray' outlet.

Arranged within the hood 1 and suspended from the leading-in wires 16 is an illuminating and heating means 17 of great heat and light giving capacity, which maybe an in.

eandescent light or any other si itable means. By way of example, an incandescent lamp is shown, the socket holding the lamp bein indicated by the reference character 18 an by which it is supported by means of the metall clips or clamps 18 and the spiral spring 18b and to which is connected through the medium of the binding-post 19 the leading-in wires 16. 'lhe socket 1.8 of the lamp extends through the opening 2 and carries a pair of vertically-extending screw-threaded rods 20, which project through a cap 21, said cap resting upon an annular flange 22, formed at the top of the hood 1. Thumb-screws 23 are provided for securing the cap-to the socket 18, said thumb-screws being mounted upon the screw-threaded ends ol: the rods '21), said ends projecting.outwardly from the cap 21. rThe leading-in wires 16 extend through three branches of a four-way coupling which is secured to the cap 21.

rlhe. branches of the four-way coupling are indicated by the reference characters 24, 25, 26, and 27. The leading-in. wires extend through the branches 24, 25, and 2G, and to the branch 27 is ixedly secured the up er end ofacurvilinear suspension-rod 28. he lower end of said rod 28 isbent in an L-shaped manner, with the vertical portion of' said L-,shaped bend iixedly secured to the member 3, as at 21), while the upper end of the said rod 28 extends entirely over the four-way coupling, is then .bent downwardly and outwardly curved, as at 21), and then bent downwardly in a vertical manner, as at 21)",

the end 21)" being 'lixed to the four-way coupling. 'lhe horizontal portion 21)" of the L- shaped bend at the lower end and the portions 2111L and 21)h at the. upper end of the rod hold the rod 2S away from the hood 1. Upon the. rod 28 is slidably mounted a hook-shaped connecting member 30, having a set-screw 31 for 'lixing said member 3() in its adjusted position. 'lhe portions 21), 21)". and 21)C of the biting-opening 40.

rod enablethe adjusting of the member 30 without it engaging the hood, and owm .,t'o the fact that the curvilinear portionz2 `1s provided the member 30 can be adjusted to al position in vertical alinement with the fourway coupling, so that the lamp can be suspended vertically, and owinv to the reviding of the portion 29c at the ower en( of the rod the member 30 can be adjusted to abut against'said portion 29, so that the lamp can be suspended horizontally. The adjusting of the member l3() yto a position intermedlate the portions 29*1 and 29c will enable the lamp to be suspended at any angle desired. Therefore the function of the rod 28 and member 30 is to permit the suspending or supporting of 'the lamp vertically or horizonte ly or at any angle desired. The illumina-tin and heating means is secured to-the hoo 1 by means of the socket and cap, which form a rigid connection with the flanged portion of the hood 1 when they are drawn together in place by thumb-screws 23 and the verticallyextending screw-threaded rods 2() and is connected directly to the leading-in wires, and the said rod 28 at its upper end is connected with the hood `1. through the medium rellector 32 snugly iitting said means 1.7.-

Said reflector 32 is arranged within said hood 1 at a point below the openings 2?, so that the inner face of the hood 1 below the reflectorv 32 will forih a continuation of the reflector 32, said inner face of the hood 1 being highly polished. Extending upwardly vfrom the reflector 32 is a conical-shaped shield 34, which .surrounds the upper portion of the illuminating and heating means 17. The said shield 34 is connected to the reflector 32 through the medium of a plurality of apertured'ears 35` and the nuL-and-bolt connections 36. The rellcctor 32 is suspended within the hood 1 through th(` medium of a plurality of rods 37, which are secured at their lower ends thronghthe medium of the nnt-and-bolt con, nections 36 to the reflector, and at their upper ends are provided with hooks which engage t'ihoilange 22.

The director is provided with a suitable covering 38, so as to form an air-space 39, and said covering is provided with a venti- The function of the covering air-space, and openings is to allow the escape of heat, so that the director can be IlO nendled by the operetor;
